Small World

Why's it so hard to see you?
I preach your love, but can't see you
The world is small, green and blue
I drink your blood to see you
Where were you?
Where were you, when I needed you?
How could you?
I can't live life prepared for death
Where were you, when I needed you?

Heavenly Mouse Routine
03:54
|
|||
The ordinary pass of time
The floating purpose day and night
The mice arrive to try to calm their nerves
The situations that arise
The men and women compromise
A clean routine or die alone and sad
I can't see where you'll find
The life that's like the one you want
So take me to the one that should be mine
It's not right but I don't mind
The things we do to pay the price
To have a place to die when comes the time
There comes a time when I must fall
Through the cracks and through the walls
Through the opening of arms you held out to me
I'd never ask of you to stay, I might not be here anyway
This place where nothing happens unless you leave

Limping Lamb
04:24
|

You fault me when I cut you off, but that's what you are
You say that every bruise is soft, but that's what I was
You had it right babe, for once
Your pale wrist was a limping lamb, when I heard the scream
Now high winds pierce the company I try to keep
Who's got their own life to lead?
And if it trickles down
I'll be behind your eyes
Policing your blood to cleanse the chains that you sawed off
The ocean and a fleet of words, reality's curse
These versions of a perfect Rome are at my throat
They smell weakness, I'm told
Don't bother to tip-toe or lurch, I've got my own
Gunnin' at full speed ahead, see if I care
See what it means to me
And if it trickles down
I'll be behind your eyes
Policing your blood to cleanse the chains that you sawed off

There Was a Window
04:39
|
|||
There was a window for mistake
There was a place for me to take
Awakened by our conversations under sheets
I was a fool to let you sit
Roaming around, my conscience hid
The back of my mind- flowers and notes not dead or read
Picking me up with a bottle of shit
Poison my blood just to stop a fit
My face rains down into the water and the sinks already filled
There was a window, heard you say
Your car is a carcass newly decayed
A pool of pity and soon a lake of fire and flight
Every time now that I lay, I squeeze myself to my mistake
The burning ghost I try to regain knows my real spine
Momma don't take me from my spoon
School's over but I still don't know the rules
I should have loved her with all my soul and truth
'Cause all I have left is you

Corinthian Order

|

Don't lie, you're not excited when you see me
You don't come by anymore like you used to
And I'm shy
Build up the courage just to text you
And you don't reply so fast like you used to, that's true
But it's alright, It's ok
I'm probably better off on my own these days
I understand, you're not to blame
I guess I'm just upset that you're going away
Goodbye honey, I tried
I'm cryin' honey, every night
Last time, I dreamt I held you 'til the morning
You'd be surprised how that happens so often
And you lied, you told me something and then took it back
You were just drunk and didn't know where your heart was at
But it's alright, it's ok
I'd probably disappoint you again someday
I guess it's fair, a lesson shared
I'll see you down the road when we both don't care
Good bye honey, and smile
We tried honey, next time
Do do do do do (Goodbye honey)
Do do do do do (Goodbye)

The Selfish Bell
03:10
|
|||
Wait for the selfish bell to ring on time
Stay inside of the ropes that help define your life
Round and round again, lead us to the imagined stairs
Wait for the selfish bell to ring on time
Stay inside of the ropes that help define your life
Ring ring twice, you don't have to look me in the eye
Every night, use the selfish bell to pass the time
Round and round again, lead us to the imagined stairs

Tug of War
02:20
|

I can do the thing, I'm put here for
My dying name, a tug of war
I can do the thing, I'm not too sure
My dying name, a tug of war

Blood Sport
03:15
|

Tomb ridin' in the ford now, turn the radio on
Flick another through the holes and tell the kid what you want
Blood sport, hail the damage you've done
Run soul, fill it up and get gone
I could see you, turning away
Oh yeah, hey hey
Hate to see you, fading away
Oh yeah, baby
I could see you, turning away
Oh yeah, baby
Welcome back into the fold now, royal family of haunt
Speaking softly in the corner, can't believe what you saw
Blood sport, all the damage you've done
Rust soul, kill the head and it's done
I could see you, turning away
Oh yeah, hey hey
Hate to see you, fading away
Oh yeah, baby
I could see you, turning away
Oh yeah, baby
I could see you, turning away
(You always gotta, you're always turning away)
Oh yeah, hey hey
Hate to see you, fading away
(I hate to see it, you're going missing on me)
Oh yeah, baby
I could see you, turning away
Oh yeah, baby

You and me, we're bound to be together, together
You and me, we're bound to be together, forever
I could see it in your eyes, that you've never had a love like this before
Cause' you and me, we're bound to be together, together, forever, together
So in love, a smile on my face the moment I step outside
It's alive, and spinning out of control
Don't be shy, I know we both got the same things on our mind
We're alive, in a way that I've never known, and I never wanna let you go
With you I feel right at home

Do I?
03:37
|
|||
You must be having such a lovely time
It couldn't compare to mine
The Island love is beaming off the screen
He looks as happy as I'd be
Oh yeah, do I?
Oh yeah, do I?
My shiny red car drives across your streets
You're safe inside one of these houses sleeping
I creep back west, onto the southern state
And head back home, to where nothing awaits me
Oh yeah
What do I do?
Ignore you
Pretend nothing is shaking me
Who cries out to someone new
Without fearing the obvious?

Form and Flood
03:12
|
|||
Let the rain form and flood, there's a demon in my heart
Raise a glass to untimely ends, 'cause they make us whole again
I am born, into a place, into a trend
And the nightmares never end, 'til death
Let the rain form and flood, there's a demon in my heart
Save the best for a phony friend, ignore the ones who know you well
I am torn, into a shape, a shifting face
Slam the door and walk away, kill me

God Left You To Die
03:03
|
|||
The shark bite delivered on time, blood is the brine I'm swimming in
The stink of decay fumes the night, yellowish haze
God left you to die
When trumpets fall out of the sky
Our jostling heads, shriek in reply
The music seeps through so loud, and our spirits are high
Oh, now we can leave this world in style
The framework you live in will rust, crumble and bust
Don't give it your trust
We'll keep them alive long enough
To chart the brainwaves, and savor the taste
When trumpets fall out of the sky
Our jostling heads, shriek in reply
The music seeps through so loud, and our spirits are high
Oh, now we can leave this world in style

Give Yourself Into Love
02:35
|
|||
Nothing is wrong but nothing is free, you gotta
Gotta be strong, you gotta be brave, don't doubt it
Gotta hold on, you gotta move on and baby
Give yourself into love
All of the past is only a dream awaking
All of the time you spend in your mind, you're chasing
Shedding your shell to quiet that yell, and finally
Give yourself into love
Pick up the bones you've hurried along and buried
Don't be alarmed, the changes that come are shocking
Lock eyes with friends and tell them that they're your family
Give yourself into love
All of the days you've numbered don't add to many
What matters the most is fighting the urge to give up
Give moving on and upwards and when you're ready
Give yourself into love

Gamblers New York
For Gamblers leader Michael McManus, a few too many brushes with mortality have him feeling like there’s a great force threatening to pound him literally into dust. Pulverizer however isn't a dark album. Gamblers serve a rousing fusion of organic and electronic sounds. It's the ultimate afterparty album that hasn’t entirely left the celebration behind. ... more
